Established group just had a player drop out so we have an opening for ONE player. The run down:
We play weekly on roll20 Saturdays 1pm EST and use discord for voice (optional video on r20). We try to keep 4 players attached to the game so that even if someone has something come up we can run with 2-3 people minimum week to week.
This is intended to be a long term campaign, and we’ve just entered into season 2 roughly, while obviously life comes up and there may be weeks you can’t make it we are looking for someone who has the intention and availability to play every week for the long run.
Everyone in the game very communicative and mature. We’re open about discussing everything in the game including how we feel things are proceeding rules interpretations how we interact and affect each others characters and we very much have the desire to keep that level of mature no-drama communication that helps make our group feel special.
We’re playing Bravos, an ancient Severosi mercenary band decimated after a large encounter rebuilding in duskvol. We love complicating the game and taking risks, for an example of just SOME of the things happening in the game currently: Our Cutter/Whisper hybrid is currently entangled in a web of 3 gods/demons/deities all jockeying for ownership/servitude/his soul and he just bound the spirit of Lord Rowan’s traiterous nephew to the bridge of nightmarket likely causing a horrible demon bridge entity to be born into existence. My Hound is currently haunted by the ghost of a former leader of the company who is trying to convince him they were betrayed by the silver nails (our +3 friends!) and my hound also just captured a greycloak hostage in a dramatic boat raid because he wants to sleep with her because he has terrible fetish and vice choices. Our Slide is an amateur actress (who is on vacation for a few weeks) is trying to cultivate her own Keyser Soze-esque underworld gang lord persona while also having been marked by the dimmer sisters and potentially being split across the fabric of multiple planes of reality? Or something else bad. Who knows so far!
The company has like some tenants and stuff to help “structure” the order and also complicate the way we do things (No killing in the lair, no leaving people behind, don’t take charity don’t give charity etc). We as players like to complicate things for ourselves, the group, and each other and that’s a big part of why having someone who is mature and communicates is important.
We go pretty hard on xp triggers like beliefs drives heritage, inner conflict and traumas. We like to role play, we usually spend half a session on downtime at least (4 hour sessions) and do fairly quick scores, but obviously if we ever need to roll over we will.
Everyone in the group has previous Blades experience, Blades GM experience, and GM experience outside, this isn’t a requirement as we want to encourage and welcome new players to hobby, but re also kind of providing a space for peopl who get “stuck” GMing games to have a chance to play. And in the event our regular GM can’t make it it usually means someone else is willing to run a one shot for an alternate system, which lets us keep momentum with the group. People open to dabbling in other things on the rare occasion we can’t get the blades game going is a plus.
If anyone is available and interested or has any questions please feel free to ask here or on the roll20 listing.
How dare you call Emeline an amateur.
Thomas Berton She doesn’t even have any published reviews!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I would very much like to join if you don’t mind someone that’s pretty green to RPing. If you’d prefer someone a little more experienced that would be cool too though.
Rene Isais New players are totally welcome, there is more than enough experience and insight at our digital table to help people learn how to play the game, the only things we’re really concerned about are maturity, commitment, and that you want the same kind of things out of the game as the rest of us. What would you say your expectations and desires are for Blades (this session in particular)? And do you feel confident that you will be able to communicate things effectively with a group of others who are willing to listen but also are comfortable making their own interests desires and opinions known?
Oh I think I know the rules well enough. I’ve just never really done a super RP heavy game of blades before and I would be super into trying to improve on my RP abilities.
I guess expectations and desires would just be to play the game and try to make a character that meshes well with the overarching goals.
Rene Isais head over to the roll20 listing and just make a quick post over there so I can add you to the game.
Done! Chris McDonald
Rene Isais sent you an invite, once you accept it there should be a post on the game board with a link to the discord. Let me know if it is no longer active or if you need a new one.
